Damn Spotify! They often send me emails with suggestions of things I'll like, based on what I've already listened to. Most of it is OK, but nothing I'd rush out and buy. Then there was this... I rushed out and bought it! http://open.spotify.com/album/33qlf86fkgwpdlndl1W6WK

Freedom, Here I Come!

27 October, 2014Leave a comment

I can't believe it's been so long since I posted. Life seems to have consisted of a blur of work and crochet. I'm back at work on Tuesday night for my last set of shifts. I feel sick with anticipation, rather like I did as a child on Christmas Eve! As expected, the handover of … Continue reading Freedom, Here I Come!

I’ve seen all my blocks into rows; next I need to tackle joining the rows. I’ve gone a little off piste and am putting sashing between my blocks. I’m really happy with how it’s looking. I spoke to a longarm quilter yesterday as I think I’ve bitten off more than I can chew in terms of the quilting 😳 This will be about 7’x7’- a bit ambitious for my first serious quilting project! I definitely want to have a go at some quilting though 😊 Watch this space! #whateverquilt #quilting

I made a thing! In fact, I made two things; a big thing and a little thing. Ever since I bought this swift, it’s lived in the box it came in, with the pegs in a freezer bag so they don’t get lost. The box is starting to fall apart, and after about two years of dithering, I plucked up the courage to make a bag to keep it in. I also made a little bag for the pegs. Thankfully, it all fits 😎 #sewing #ihardlysworeatall #exceptatthebobbin
